Tuesday June 5

Today began our daily walking program. Overall it went well but I was stressed. First something is wrong with the stroller. I have no idea how it happen but one of the back wheels won't stay attached. Its not really a problem but if I move the stroller without being careful it falls off. The boys were actually pretty well behaved for most of the walk. Noah and Zachary insisted on walking most of the way (we were on a secluded trail) but they walk slow. I think tomorrow (if we go the weather is suppose to be nasty) we'll walk further since we are walking slow. After we were done walking I took them to the playground to let them play. The school district is giving free lunches at the school for kids so I was going to let them play until lunchtime started. I think they became bored at the park after one hour. Lunchtime didn't go well. First it was crowded and second it wasn't food that they really like. We ended up with chocolate milk, pbj sandwiches, and carrots. Nathan ate nothing and threw his food across the table. Noah ate about 5 bites out of his sandwich and then played with it. He did drink the milk. Zachary didn't like the texture of the bread (it was like a uncrustable) and just drank his milk. Even if the food was free that experience was not worth the time I spent fighting the kids. I ended up stopping at Paces so Nathan could have a corndog because that's what he was screaming about the whole time.

Congrats to your new program! Weather was definately un-walkable. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. I think you should've let Nathan starve. That will teach him to eat what is put in front of him. JK. How long has he been out of food therapy? Think you'll ever do that again. Try to let me know next time you go so you can snag me some pb fingers. Hmmmmm.....

I'll have Don pick you up a peanut butter finger. They don't sell them at the school but at the cafe central. Did you know you can have them make a huge batch up?
Nathan has been out of eating therapy for 6 months and I'm very very tempted to send him back.
